When Guru Vashishtha Said Sita Ji Alone Will Rule Ayodhya

When Shri Ram, along with Sitaji and Lakshmanji, came to take permission to go to the forest from Dashrathji and Maharishi Vashistha, the cruel Kaikeyi immediately brought valkal vastra (garments made of bark) for all three of them. Shri Ram and Lakshmanji donned the cheera vastra (garments of torn cloth/bark), but when Sitaji began to wear those garments, all the women started weeping and [appealed] to Shri Ram

Two Sufis Made Babur Vow to Demolish Ram Janmabhoomi Temple

Before invading India, Babur had come to India in the guise of a Sufi (Islamic mystic) kalandar (wandering dervish). Disguised as a kalandar, he also met the Sultan of Delhi, Sikandar Lodi. He also went to Ayodhya, where two fakirs (ascetics) (Sufis) extracted a promise from him that if he demolished the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi temple and built a mosque there, he would receive the fakirs' bles...

Ram Temple by Consensus Is the Suicide of Hindutva

What I am about to write today may cause distress to some. Yet, I write this after deep deliberation: the construction of the Shri Ram temple through a court verdict or with the consent of Muslims will prove suicidal for Hindutva. A Hindu society already slumbering in the stupor of secularism, if the temple is built with the consent of Muslims...

This should be the Grand Reconstruction of Shri Ram Mandir in Ayodhya

Even today, whenever I think about the Shri Ram Mandir, the reality of Ayodhya feels like a dream. And now that this truth is about to come pass, even more dreams are raising a clamour in the mind. Not merely the 67 acres of the Janmabhumi (birthplace) land, but the whole of Ayodhya itself is awaiting the Devashilpi (divine architect) Vishwakarma. This invincible land of the Ikshvaku dynasty
